Global Justice Day: A Storm was Coming Film Screening and Discussion

Javier Fernández Vázquez the film director. “In 1904, Ësáasi Eweera, the last native Bubi leader who opposed the Spanish rule at the current island of Bioko (Equatorial Guinea) was detained by colonial guards and forcefully taken to Santa Isabel, the colony’s capital. Imprisoned and fatally wounded, Ësáasi Eweera died three days later.

By reenacting written texts through voiceovers, taping, and studying native Bubi oral accounts and identifying historically charged sites, A Storm Was Coming tries to reflect on the gaps, silences, contradictions, and falsehoods that colonial history is usually built upon.”

Javier Fernández Vázquez is ananthropologist, and visual culture researcher.

A film screening and discussion of Profession Documentarist (2015, various directors). Seven independent Iranian women filmmakers document their personal and professional worlds in Iran during another period of political, social and economic crises. In diary format, each filmmaker explores their personal experiences, such as facing censorship, growing up in a country that was transformed by the 1979 revolution, and restrictions for women. The film was produced underground, during a restrictive administration.
